2.79 chevron premium here in texas, it just jumped up 20 cents in the past 4 day....and I don't feel like risking detonation by saving $2 everytime I feel up with regular gas....

I'm willing to pay whatever the price goes to. Have to work not a lot of options there. It's supposed to hit $3.00 for regular by the end of this year. 
Makes you wonder though if you were unfortunate enough to own a Hummer right now that was getting 10 mpg and dumped it for say something like a Civic getting 40mpg. If you average 400 miles a week like I do the Hummer would cost you $120. a week for gas, the Civic $30. That's $90 bucks a week or $360 a month in fuel savings you'd realize with the Honda. That may be an extreme example but even if your fuel savings were only half that you'd still save $180 a month in fuel costs. That's enough to make monthly payments on an economy car. At some point, I think sooner rather than later used car lots are going to start filling up with a lot of these SUV's getting between 10-15 mpg.
